Burbot, Ling and Blue Ling - Unique Scandinavian Eel-like Fish Lithograph This stunning 19th-century lithograph from *Skandinaviens Fiskar* features three captivating eel-like fish species from Scandinavian waters: the Burbot (Lota lota), the Ling (Molva molva), and the Blue Ling (Molva dypterygia). Illustrated with scientific accuracy and artistic mastery by Wilhelm von Wright and C. Erdmann, and published by P. A. Norstedt & Söners Förlag in Stockholm, this plate beautifully captures the sinuous elegance and distinct characteristics of these elongated fish. At the top of the print, the Burbot (Lota lota) is depicted with its characteristic serpentine body and ornate mottling of dark brown and yellow patterns. The texture of the fish’s smooth, slippery skin is masterfully rendered, capturing its natural sheen and vibrant hues. A distinct chin barbel gives the Burbot an almost catfish-like appearance. Known as the only freshwater member of the cod family, Burbots inhabit cold rivers and lakes throughout Scandinavia. They are particularly valued for their firm, flavorful flesh and are often sought by ice fishermen during winter months. In the center of the composition lies the Ling (Molva molva), a long and robust fish with a subtly tapering body and prominent lateral line. The brownish-yellow coloration is interspersed with irregular light patches, giving it a marbled appearance. The graceful curvature of the body and the pronounced fins highlight its elongated form. Ling are known for their deep-sea habitats and are prized as a food fish...

Royal North Devon Golf Club 1893 by Mayall & Co. Ltd. A great image of the members of the 'Royal North Devon Golf Club, Westward Ho!' from 1893. The figures are all photographs superimposed onto a painted background of the course. In the margin is printed 'Permanent Autotype, Produced by Mayall & Co. Ltd. 73 Piccadilly'. The image appears very much photographic but is more of a photomechanical print rather than a photograph. John Jabez Edwin Paisley Mayall (1813-1901) was an English photographer who in 1860 took the first carte-de-visite photographs of Queen Victoria. Taken from Royal North Devon:- Royal North Devon at Westward Ho! Can rightly claim to be the cradle of English Golf. Founded in 1864, it is the oldest golf course in the country and is regarded as the St Andrews of the South. The golf course is as tough as any of the UK's more famous links layouts and has recently been placed in Golf World 's 'Top 100 Courses in the World' that a golfer 'must play'. Not only is Royal North Devon a great course, it is also a place of huge historical importance. Inside the warmly welcoming clubhouse, the golf museum, honours boards and the clubs top competition trophies are worth a visit on their own and help to tell the story of the game and this remarkable club's unique place in it. Above all, this is great, natural golf that is largely unchanged from 100 years ago when Harold Hilton et al pronounced Westward Ho! As England's No 1 competition golf course. RND is pure, raw exhilaration and ultimately the experience of playing a fast running links in a stiff breeze still tests the very best in the game. Many of the great players of the last 100 years were regular competitors at RND but the greatest of them all is without doubt John Henry Taylor...
